Il colore dedrammatizza… il bianco e nero è più carico di sensi.
(Jean Baudrillard)
La Terrazza Mascagni è uno dei luoghi più eleganti e suggestivi di Livorno ed è ubicata sul lungomare. Fu costruita a partire dagli anni venti del Novecento, ma la terrazza fu notevolmente estesa nell'immediato dopoguerra, quando fu intitolata al compositore livornese Pietro Mascagni.
La Terrazza Mascagni è una grande piazza delimitata verso il mare da una sinuosa balaustra formata da 4.100 eleganti colonnine in conglomerato cementizio; il pavimento è costituito da una scacchiera di 8.700 metri quadrati formata da 34.800 piastrelle bianche e nere.

Color dedramatizes ... black and white is more charged with senses.
(Jean Baudrillard)
The Mascagni Terrace is one of the most elegant and suggestive places in Livorno and is located on the seafront. It was built starting from the 1920s, but the terrace was considerably extended in the immediate post-war period, when it was named after the Livorno composer Pietro Mascagni.
The Mascagni Terrace is a large square bordered towards the sea by a sinuous balustrade made up of 4,100 elegant concrete conglomerate columns; the floor consists of a 8,700 square meter chessboard made up of 34,800 black and white tiles.
The history of chess can be traced back nearly 1500 years, although the earliest origins are uncertain. The earliest predecessor of the game probably originated in India, before the 6th century AD; a minority of historians believe the game originated in China. From India, the game spread to Persia. When the Arabs conquered Persia, chess was taken up by the Muslim world and subsequently spread to Southern Europe. In Europe, chess evolved into roughly its current form in the 15th century.

Jako by vznikla tu dělicí čára
Osud, pan Hybatel, do své knihy čmárá
Tu a tam posune, hýbe na šachovnici Bytí
Teď jenom ustát to, s úsměvem, bez brvy hnutí
...kdyby nám do života vstoupilo zbytečné pnutí

"When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know?"

For the Smile on Saturday challenge - Pawns (April 25th 2020)
I love glass, especially crystal glass as it is the purest form, and shoots well in macro. In the 1980s Swarovski made a chess set of crystal glass. It is hard to find pieces now, and these 3 'white' pawns are part of the small collection I've managed to gather
HSoS!!

I took both photos (horse and chessboard) myself. The idea came naturally when I recently rediscovered the pleasure of playing chess.
